Chapter 115 Buying Wine
After leaving the middle-aged man's villa, Chu Zhenshan asked: "Where should we go next?"
"Don't you feel hungry?" Jia Ren asked.
"Haha, when you say that, you are really hungry. What are you going to eat?"
"Why do you want to treat us?" Jia Ren smiled evilly and looked at Chu Zhenshan.
"No, I'm a poor man. Unlike you, I can strike with a fifth-order crystal core without blinking an eye."
"If I said that the lowest I have here is only the fifth-order crystal core, would you believe it?"
"No way! You are really a rich man! It seems that I have found a group of friends to fight against the evil gentry." It was Chu Zhenshan's turn to look at Jia Ren with a smirk.
"In my agreement, I only ask that you don't give me away, and no third party is allowed. Be careful that I won't give you money when the time comes. Don't forget, that's a huge amount of money!" Jia Ren didn't understand at all! Not afraid of Chu Zhenshan’s threat.
"Okay, for the sake of money, I'll put up with it. But I really don't have the money to treat you to a feast."
"Well, that's true. It's not convenient if you don't have any change with you. Let's find a place to change some change."
"Where are you going to change?"
"The so-called wealth is not exposed. Although the fifth-order crystal core is not very valuable, it will also cause a lot of trouble. Let's find a place to buy something so that we can change it into change."
"Shopping? What do you want to buy?"
"Let's go to the market and find Gao Zhiyuan's business. There should be what I need."
"Okay, you are the boss now, so I will listen to you." After Chu Zhenshan finished speaking, he drove straight to the market and arrived at Gao Zhiyuan's business.
Gao Zhiyuan has always followed Li Yuanhong's footsteps. Wherever Li Yuanhong's administrative center is, he will open the headquarters of his trading company, so his trading company can always be found in the market. Looking at Gao Zhiyuan's store from a distance, it was larger when he was not in Hunchun, and the flow of people here was also relatively large, because Gao Zhiyuan was able to get a lot of local specialties from the Far East, especially gasoline and diesel. Out of stock right now.
Chu Zhenshan drove the car directly to the door of Gao Zhiyuan's business and stopped. The young man there immediately came to greet him: "Ouch! It's been a long time, Master Chu, he's made a fortune there!"
"It's not like I'm making a fortune. I just took a friend into the city and came here to take a look. Your store has changed. Have you got any new goods?"
"Master Chu has a good eye. Our boss just came back from the Far East and got a lot of hot goods there. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
"Okay, let's go in and take a look. By the way, fill up my precious car with gas first. It must not be adulterated. If I find adulteration, be careful and I will end up with you!"
"Master Chu, you can rest assured, we never sell fakes here." With that said, the boy introduced Chu Zhenshan and Jia Ren into the lobby.
As soon as we entered the lobby, we saw two large counters with a dazzling array of products, including military binoculars, military knives, silver tableware, Russian matryoshka dolls, chocolates and other Russian specialty products, and of course various types of diesel and gasoline. Soybean grains can be described as diverse.
At this time, another waiter walked out and greeted him enthusiastically: "You two gentlemen, what do you want to buy?"
"Let me take a look first and then talk!" Chu Zhenshan was not a buyer, so he said casually.
"Is your boss here?" Jia Ren asked the boy directly.
The boy was stunned. Normally, they would receive guests directly and would not alert the boss. However, this guest wanted to see the boss directly. This was obviously against the rules.
"I have a big deal to discuss, so I want to see your boss." Jia Ren said again.
"Big deal?" Obviously the young man saw that Jia Ren, a man with ordinary clothes, could have a big deal.
Jia Ren took out a fifth-order crystal core from his arms and said, "The things I want to buy should not be less than this amount. I'm afraid you can't make the decision."
When the guy saw the fifth-order crystal core, although the fifth-order crystal core was often encountered in the world, as a business, it was definitely a large amount. For low-level people like them, it might be difficult to earn a five-level crystal core in a few years. order crystal nucleus. So he quickly said: "Here, our boss happens to be inside, I will let you know right away." After saying that, the boy quickly ran into the inner hall.
After a while, the boy came back: "Our boss invites you!" He said, leading the way inside.
Coming to the inner hall, the spacious inner hall has a large desk and a relatively high-quality coffee table. At this time, Gao Zhiyuan was making tea in front of the coffee table. When he saw Jia Ren and Chu Zhenshan coming in, he quickly stood up to greet them. Gao Zhiyuan knew Chu Zhenshan, but the people around Chu Zhenshan had no impression at all.
"Brother Chu, are you free to come to my place for tea today?" Gao Zhiyuan thought that the young man was deceived by Chu Zhenshan, so he tried to smooth things over.
"How can I have the time to delay Boss Gao's business? I would rather accompany my friends to discuss business with you." Chu Zhenshan quickly explained.
"Oh? This brother is..." Gao Zhiyuan looked at Jia Ren and asked.
"My name is Jia Ren, and I'm honored to be able to discuss business with Boss Gao today."
When Gao Zhiyuan heard Jia Ren speak, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jia Ren carefully, and then turned into a businessman's smile and said: "Boss Jia, you're welcome, sit down, let's sit down and talk." Gao Zhiyuan asked the two of them to sit down. Then he poured tea for the two of them: "I wonder what kind of business Boss Jia wants to discuss with me?"
"That's right. I want to ask, has Boss Gao been to Daqing City?"
"Daqing City? I haven't been here yet. It's now under the jurisdiction of Commander Fan Junjie. I'm not very familiar with it, so I haven't had any contact with it for the time being." Gao Zhiyuan said.
"Then how much does Boss Gao know about Daqing City?" Jia Ren stopped talking about business and kept asking about Daqing City.
"I heard from a friend there that there is no way to compare with here. If it weren't for the oil produced there, it would probably be unsustainable. To be honest, a lot of my business has been squeezed out there!" Gao Zhiyuan said helplessly. He shook his head and said.
"Oh? Can Boss Gao's business be squeezed over there?" Jia Ren was also a little surprised.
"You don't know that when we sell oil, the price is set by the city government, so the sales are transparent, and the profits are clearly stated, and everyone agrees with it. Who would have thought that those people in Daqing, who don't know their shame, actually The dumping of petrol and diesel at low prices has squeezed our business a lot."
"Oh? Are they dumping at low prices? Is it because of their low costs?"
"If the cost is low, then we admit it. There must be many things that we cannot decide. But the actual situation is that they are simply passing off inferior quality products and evading taxes. In other words, their oil products are smuggled goods. So. There’s no way our prices here can compete with theirs.”
"Then the city government doesn't care about this kind of smuggling?"
"The city government can't control it at all because the military is behind them."
"Army? You mean Jin Yu's army?"
"This doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to be that Fan Junjie's subordinates. But they are also from the army."
"No, isn't the army not allowed to do business?" Jia Ren said in surprise.
Gao Zhiyuan glanced at Jia Ren strangely, and then said: "I don't know the reason, but there have been some changes in the army recently. I originally thought that the government would come forward to take care of it, but it turned out that the government turned a blind eye. .”
"Oh, it seems that Spring City is quite lively recently." Jia Ren said.
"No."
"What products are more popular in Daqing City?" Jia Ren asked.
"It's very extreme over there. Low-end food and high-end luxury drinks are both popular," Gao Zhiyuan said.
"Okay, boss Gao, do you have any good wine here?"
"Vodka, Moutai, and Wuliangye are all available."
"In that case, Vodka and Wuliangye will give me a fifth-order crystal core, and Maotai will give me a fifth-order crystal core. In addition, I want Gao Zhiyuan to help me."
"How can I help you?" Gao Zhiyuan was a little confused about this Jia Ren. He was so generous and asked for the goods directly without even asking the price. This was the first time he had seen him.
"Give me some change for a fifth-order crystal core. See if it's convenient."
"That's it, no problem, just leave everything to me." After saying that, Gao Zhiyuan took Jia Ren's three crystal nuclei, then called a guy over, whispered a few instructions to him, and then continued to accompany the two of them. Drink tea.
After a while, the boy came back, holding a cloth bag with the crystal core in it.
"This is the crystal core for Boss Jia Ren. Please take a look. In addition, the wine will take some time to prepare. Do you want to wait here or..." Gao Zhiyuan asked as he handed over the bag.
"Then let's go out for a walk first and come back in an hour." Jia Ren said.
"Okay, the goods should be ready by then." Gao Zhiyuan stood up and saw off Jia Ren and Chu Zhenshan. Chu Zhenshan helped Jia Ren out of the cargo station. After getting in the car, he stepped on the accelerator and left the market street.
Not long after, the two of them appeared in front of a restaurant. It was just after lunch time and the number of customers was a little thin, so the two of them found a quieter place to sit down.
"What do you two want to eat?" When the boy saw the guests, he quickly ran across the table to greet them.
"In this way, give us a random stew, a pot of pork, a braised pork, a braised elbow, and a plate of roasted fish and a roasted chicken. How about rice? Give me a big bowl. That's enough." Jia Ren opened his mouth and said.
The boy and Chu Zhenshan looked at Jia Ren with wide eyes, as if they were looking at monsters.
Chu Zhenshan touched Jia Ren: "Brother Jia, have you eaten so much?"
"There's nothing I can't eat. Besides, I'm spending the money, so you don't have to feel bad."
"That's right, you are the sponsor and you have the final say." Chu Zhenshan was very happy and relaxed. There were so many delicious foods, and Zhenghong was able to satisfy his craving.
But the boy didn't move, he still stood there with a troubled expression on his face.
"Why don't you go and submit the order?" Jia Ren asked.
"Guest, can you settle the bill first?" The boy hesitated.
"Oh, how much does this cost?" Jia Ren asked casually.
"One hundred and thirty crystal nuclei." said the boy.
"Not expensive!" Li Yuanhong took out a cloth bag, took out a third-order crystal core and four second-order crystal cores and handed them to the boy, and then said: "The extra ones will be your tip."
"Thank you, thank you. I'll tell the chef to cook for you two." After saying that, the boy took the crystal core and went down quickly.
After a while, the dishes were served. It must be said that the portions of Northeastern cuisine are huge, and the table was filled with six dishes. Jia Ren was not humble and stretched out his hand to grab a chicken leg and gnawed it. When Chu Zhenshan saw Jia Ren eating like this, he quickly started to grab the food. In no time, the whole table of food was eaten clean by the two of them. Of course, most of it went into Jia Ren's intestines and stomach.
When the boy saw that the two of them had finished eating, he quickly came up to clear away the dishes and chopsticks: "Master, do you want anything else?"
"Oh, by the way, do you have beef smoked flatbread here?" Jia Ren said.
"Yes, this is the specialty of the small shop."
"Okay, then give me twenty pieces and pack them up and take them away."
"Okay!" The boy didn't ask for money first, and ran directly to order the cooking. Next to him, Chu Zhenshan rolled his eyes at Jia Ren: "I didn't expect you, a sick man, to be so good at eating."
"Tch, I'm suffering from hunger disease. The more I eat, the faster I'll recover."
"This is the first time I've heard of it." Chu Zhenshan expressed disbelief.
Soon, the flatbread was baked and brought out in a big bag.
"How much?" Jia Ren said.
"Not much, just a hundred crystal nuclei." The boy said.
Jia Ren took out a third-order crystal core and handed it to the boy, and then asked with some confusion: "Why didn't you ask me for money in advance this time?"
"Master, you have proved that you are not a freeloader by giving me money before, so I won't worry about you not giving me money."
"Oh? Why are there so many freeloaders here recently?" Jia Ren asked in confusion.
"No, many soldiers have come over recently. Not only do they not pay for meals, but they also curse and make it difficult for us to do business."
"Didn't you sue the security patrol?"
"You don't know, those patrol policemen don't care about anything anymore. As long as no one is killed, they will turn a blind eye. We are in business, so we can only spend money to avoid disasters."
"That's it!" Jia Ren's eyes showed a stern look, but he didn't say anything.
